What is the principle of LCMS?

Question

Accepted Answer

LCMS stands for Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. It is a technique used to separate, identify and quantify components in a mixture.

LCMS involves the use of a liquid chromatography column to separate the components of a mixture based on their chemical properties.
The separated components are then ionized and passed through a mass spectrometer to determine their mass-to-charge ratio.
LCMS is commonly used in drug discovery, environmental analysis, and forensic science.
LCMS can detect and quantify trace amounts of compounds in complex mixtures, making it a powerful analytical tool.
